[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems this woman has turned her life around correct? These charges are in the past, and it seems she's cleaned up her act gone to school and now has a career.

If this is true, then I think you need to giver her a chance. The fact that she's 8 years old isn't the end of the world, considering they are essentially in the same place of life.

If she's on the right side of the law noe and doing well I think you owe her a chance, get to know her try and see what your son sees.[/quote]

OP here.  Yes, I have thought about this.  I do think that once he gets a regular job and has shown some more responsibility I will most likely be up for having a relationship with his girlfriend.  The whole thing is too raw right now (it was a shock to me for sure).  As it is, I don't want to support both him and her financially (or any girl financially for that matter).  As a previous poster said, his life is too comfortable and, in part, I don't want him to be too comfortable or he will stay dependent upon us for a long time.  I am not giving him money right now, but he is riding on graduation present money from relatives and he just started a summer job (one that he has worked in the past).  That job will end in August so he will have some spending money for a while.  I do think about the car and car insurance issue and believe many posters are right that he should start paying us for those things as soon as the checks from the job start rolling in.  I will talk to him about that.  [/quote]
